Ellie + Stephen / Birch Point State Park Elopement 5.20.2023

When nature is your church, you elope between the mountains and the sea, and then explore barefoot for portraits.

Ellie and Stephen are my kind of people – easygoing, playful, and up for anything, as long as it’s outside. They had an intimate ceremony beautifully officiated by Ellie’s lifelong best friend’s grandmother, who has become an extra grandmother to Ellie. Her energy was so special to have there, and her quick wit kept us all laughing. After E + S officially tied the knot and we had taken family photos, we ran around the beach, walked between the tall trees, and soaked it all in. It was the perfect way to kick off my 2023 wedding season.
